• tweak: Sinks and drains are moveable

[TheRealMasterChief117]

Add a limit of 1 sink per ship so people don't build 500 sinks on their ship with infinite water.

The build recipes also need to be more complex, not just 4 sheets of steel. Tools should be needed, possibly bluespace for things like sinks.

hi hi im not sure if im allowed to uh.. place words here.. i wanted to say..
might consider if its buildable.. do it like HL where it is a research item.. and you need plumbing to make them <3?

and uh.. im not sure but .. some shuttles may come with more than one sink? you could also mabye limit it to like.. 2-4 sinks? since one sink is unlimited water already.. but some people might want a bathroom and kitchen and chem sink or.. something? yknow? anyways i just wanted to.. put my thought here since.. um.. bai!

If it ends up going that route, heres the PR for the plumbing assemblies.

Please contact me on Discord for further discussion, I will be addressing balancing comments coming from maintainers after a discussion thread.

the sink being able to be anchored makes sense, though drains being anchorable and dragable sounds kind of weird ngl

perhaps could make it act like scrubbers & vents, where you have to pry open the tile first, before doing so? just some thoughts

My reasoning is that magic refilling sink and magic emptying drain are already abstraction of the reality.

Is only an abstraction because otherwise we'd need a whole addition system to manage liquids like we do gasses. Drains can easily vac into space and a sink can just have a built-in condenser. A limit doesn't make a whole lot of sense when one can use a ripley and tear sinks out of a vgroid.
